    As nice as Dennis at Philharmonic is, I wouldn't be able to recommend any of those BMR designs to any of my friends.

    I think you've maybe said this in a thread somewhere, but where do they fall down the most? I suspect the midrange. That BMR tech seems cool at first but I suspect it's not as good in real world performance as a tried and true 4" cone design.

    I do like my Dennis-modded B22's for desktop use, but haven't heard any of his other designs.

    - Mids are where the music lives, but those BMR drivers are underwhelming, especially side-by-side with a RAAL tweeter.
    - Very low efficiency + complex crossovers aren't my favorite combo.
    - What quality of bass down to 20-25hz can you possibly expect from 8" woofers?

    One of the most important design goals of a driver is to make it as light as possible. BMR drivers have weights added to them to work properly. I'm not a fan.

    I understand that Dennis prioritizes dispersion, so I get his love of BMRs, but at what cost?
